Magpie 73- Foul!



There once was a guy named Saul

who loved to play basketball

His size was immense

And he was totally dense

Not wanting to share the ball

    I must show this to my husband, who referees basketball. He's probably known dozens of guys just like this in his 40+ years of refereeing.
    Good one!

    Oh, Kathe ... this is fun!

    I will not be in Bend during your visit - sadly. Going to St. Louis for three weeks to help with family matters.
